Calling all anglers! The Russian River Campground is a fisherman’s paradise. This particular spot along the Russian River is unique in that salmon stop to “rest” before continuing upstream to spawn. The river is the most popular sockeye salmon stream in Alaska, as well as a top-rated spot for rainbow trout. If fishing ain’t your thing, no problem, head out on the miles of rugged hiking trails, or mountain bike along the scenic Seward Highway.
